Workshop: Is ECOWAS a Tool or an Obstacle to Decolonization? Migration Governance and Beyond
15-10-2024
This workshop aims to explore scenarios of migration without borders (MWB) and a post-national West Africa discussed in the literature (Adepoju 2007; Aniche et al. 2022). Arhin-Sam and colleagues (2022) have urged the development of unique cross-border mobility systems based on West African realities, cautioning against simply replicating models from other contexts, such as the EU.
In light of this, the key question of the workshop is: to what extent is ECOWAS moving towards or away from the post-nationalism and decolonization scenario described by Aniche and colleagues (2022), and why?
